Hi,

Trying something more simple :-/

There's a way to create a autocomplete feature, the user begin type and see
grayed the possible matchs for that word (something like the auto complete
xtra) and when they stop to type or the word is finished, the translation
for that word appear in other window??

Thank's


Rodrigo Peres
